Chapter 387: Chapter 216: Awakening Boys and Girls
Outside Mo Ye City, the storms had ceased.
When dawn arrived, it washed away the madness of blood and swords from the night.
When the First Elder led You Su to find Wangshu Fairy and the others, except for Zi Yiyi, the other three fellow disciples had all fallen into a coma due to serious injuries.
Zi Yiyi had no choice but to take them back to the City Lord’s residence to rest under the First Elder’s orders.
The night once again enveloped the giant city, the cold moon like frost.
You Su’s injuries were the most severe, his bones were broken in numerous places; the most shocking was his abdomen, where many ribs had been snapped by Mr. Bihua, the frightening bulge was visible even through his clothes. Even though he possessed the Power of Tai Sui, such a grave injury to his waist was not something that could be easily healed.
Zi Yiyi initially wanted to apply medicine to him, but was stopped by the First Elder.
"Lions on the open fields do not use medicine; they rely on licking their wounds themselves. The new flesh will make them stronger, and the scars will be their badges of honor. Take good care of them, once healed they can return to the sect."
After saying this, the First Elder departed.
Zi Yiyi quietly complained in her heart: Are you perhaps a bit obsessed... just explaining that he can recover on his own would suffice, I wouldn’t tell anyone...
Ji Lingruo also had external injuries exceeding internal ones; her entire back had noticeable scrape marks, but luckily after using special ointment, they wouldn’t leave scars. The muscles on her right arm, which she wielded the sword with, were severely torn due to exhaustion of strength, likely needing a long time to heal. Most importantly, her emotions surged several times during this battle, and overwhelmed with heart power, she slept the deepest among everyone here. Fortunately, the First Elder personally brought valuable pills and entrusted Zi Yiyi to feed them to her.
Wangshu Fairy was the most unusual one; she lay on the bed, serene in demeanor and steady in breathing. Rather than being exhausted to sleep from the body’s self-protection mechanism, she seemed more like entering a mystical state.
Zi Yiyi dared not move her rashly; she speculated this might be Wangshu Fairy’s way of breaking through after adversity.
She sighed softly in her heart, marveling at their Exorcism Bureau’s Divine Maiden. Not only could she repel evil cultivators at Feather Transformation Perfection while being in the Initial Feather Transformation Realm, but instantly advance after battle as well.
Upon thinking this, she could not help but feel a sense of inferiority, having no contribution other than subtly saving Ji Lingruo during this campaign.
As the personal maid of Hua Jing’s chief seat, she was proud and ambitious. Though she didn’t truly hold prejudices against the Demon Race or the blind one, her high realm made it so she never took them seriously.
Only now realizing, everyone lying here seemed more like True Immortals capable of reaching the mountain peaks than herself.
"Do not be discouraged. Long ago, I too thought one day I might be overtaken by newcomers, but as the years have passed, the one who still stands high is still me."
A familiar mature female voice arose; the curves drawn by the dark green cheongsam were enticing. The Third Elder of Profound Sky Sect extended equal kindness to every beautiful female junior.
"Mr. Bihua."
Zi Yiyi respectfully saluted; as she was not a disciple of Profound Sky Sect, naturally she used the honorific to address the Third Elder.
"You may leave, I’ll take care of the three of them."
The Third Elder approached, placing a hand on Zi Yiyi’s shoulder as if conveying ’You’ve done very well.’
Zi Yiyi suddenly felt an impulse to cry; her nose twitched with a sour feeling, she then bowed and retreated.
Mr. Bihua was not only unparalleled in the Spirit Plant Ways across the Five Continents but also a renowned healer.
This mature lady with a broad heart would not heed the First Elder’s seemingly inhumane wolf-like education.
After examining them, she moved to You Su’s side.
She furrowed her brow tightly while looking at You Su’s full set of injuries; she had already learned about the Tai Sui from the First Elder. However strong a person’s recovery ability, it doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain; this blind man’s willpower truly was astonishing.
The Third Elder cautiously traced her hand over You Su, channeling some green Profound Qi into his body to protect his heart, lungs, and other vital areas. Then she placed her hand on his chest, hesitated for a moment, and unfastened his torn black clothes, starting to check the wounds on his body.
The room was dimly lit; however, for cultivators of this level, day and night made no difference.
"Alas..."
The Third Elder pressed her lips and sighed softly while looking at these unsightly injuries; she murmured:
"If you aren’t healed first, should your master see you like this, it might lead him to do something foolish."
Her fingertips gently touched him; the youth’s temperature was somewhat scorching, due to the rapid flow of blood within him.
The Third Elder suppressed the odd feeling within; she actually had an unwritten rule for healing others, she wouldn’t personally treat male cultivators, only diagnosing from behind a curtain and then prescribing medicine.
Yet this youth repeatedly made her break this vow.
Though she had only spent a few months with You Su, she had participated in several significant events with him; perhaps if she hadn’t sent You Su to retrieve the Lotus Heart, everything might be very different...
But things had come to this, there was no turning back.
Her mind settled, Profound Qi surged from her fingertips, spreading over You Su’s wounds, gently kneading with slow rubs. Her supremely pure wood-attributed green Profound Qi was akin to the most top-notch ointment, You Su’s wounds immediately began scabbing, even the displaced bones gradually aligned.
Truth be told, the Third Elder didn’t know why; there was something about this youth that made her not feel the usual aversion like she did with other men.
